The Middletown boat ramp, located at River Mile 61.2 on the Susquehanna River in Dauphin County, is a Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission (PFBC) managed access point offering convenient facilities for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. The launch provides parking, picnic areas, restrooms, and nearby food options, making it a well-equipped stop for paddlers exploring this section of the river. The site serves as a popular takeout point for those paddling downstream from upper river sections or as a put-in for day trips on the lower Susquehanna.
Paddlers should note that this access point may experience seasonal closures (such as maintenance periods in late September through early October). Before heading out, check current conditions and any temporary closures with the PFBC. The Middletown site provides good access to the main Susquehanna River channel, though paddlers interested in the Swatara Creek Water Trail should note that formal trailheads for that waterway are located at Scotto's Italian Restaurant in Jonestown (Lebanon County) and Boat House Road Park in Derry Township.
